Disposable Ophthalmic Surgical Products Market

Introduction

Disposable ophthalmic surgical products are used in eye surgeries. They include a wide variety of articles such as drapes, solutions and stains, instruments such as knives and others. The increasing number of screenings and ophthalmic surgeries is the prime factors expected to drive the growth of the disposable ophthalmic surgical products market. According to the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention, about 11 million Americans over age 12 need vision correction. The American Academy of Ophthalmology estimates that diseases such as cataract, and glaucoma affect more than 24.4 million and 2.7 million Americans age 40 and older, respectively. The situation has been compounded by the emergence of serious diseases such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD) with almost 2.1 million Americans age 50 suffering from it.

Disposable Ophthalmic Surgical Products Market: Drivers and Restraints

The growing prevalence of diabetes is another indirect clinical driver of the disposable ophthalmic surgical products market as it is accountable for a large number of retinopathies accounting for nearly 7.7 million cases. Almost 29 million Americans have diabetes affecting 12.3% of adults age 20 and older. The growing focus of governments towards elimination of cataract and the inclusion of cataract surgery in health plans in many developing nations is also expected to drive the demand for disposable ophthalmic surgical products.

The growing success rate of ophthalmic surgeries coupled with the developing healthcare infrastructure and favourable reimbursements are also expected to drive the growth of the disposable ophthalmic surgical products market. However, the high cost of surgery, risks such as infection and the traditional lack of focus on ophthalmic care are factors expected to hamper the growth of the market for disposable ophthalmic surgical products.
